Bernstein reiterated the target price of $67 for Figure, optimistic about a 72% upside driven by tokenization

Bernstein reiterated its "Outperform" rating on Figure Technology Solutions (FIGR) and maintained a target price of $67, implying about a 72% upside from the current stock price of $38.97. Figure's Q1 2026 performance was strong: loan issuance reached $2.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 113%; adjusted revenue was $167 million, a year-on-year increase of 92%, exceeding market expectations by 6%; adjusted EBITDA was $82.7 million, with a profit margin of about 50%, slightly above market expectations. However, the GAAP diluted EPS was $0.18, about 9% below expectations, primarily impacted by $26 million in equity incentive expenses.Bernstein's analysis suggests that this performance should reshape the market's perception of Figure, as it is not a traditional credit company, but rather a "tokenization-driven capital market platform," with core profits coming from network fees and operational leverage, and it maintains a pricing model based on a 25x EBITDA valuation for 2027. Additionally, the tokenization ecosystem continues to expand: the yield-bearing security token YLDS reached $598 million (up 80% quarter-on-quarter); the balance of stock lending products was $368 million (up 79%); and the small business loan segment contributed $6 million in revenue. Figure's current stock price is still not far from the 2025 IPO issue price of $36, but there remains a significant gap from the historical high of $78.

Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han: AI and Web3 accelerate product iteration, driving continuous upgrades in user experience

Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han recently stated in an interview with The Block that the integration of AI and Web3 is accelerating efficiency improvements in the industry. The company has fully opened AI enterprise accounts for team members and is widely applying them in scenarios such as coding and development, significantly enhancing overall productivity.On this basis, the product iteration pace has been drastically compressed from "updates every few weeks" to "daily updates." Meanwhile, Web3 provides AI agents with automated payment capabilities, achieving low-cost and high-efficiency fund settlement through on-chain protocols. AI has also become an important tool for dealing with vast on-chain assets, capable of quickly completing liquidity screening and trading path optimization based on instructions.When discussing compliance and industry competition, Dr. Han pointed out that current crypto trading platforms have become homogenized in terms of product experience, but intense competition continues to drive overall service level improvements. Gate has currently achieved regulatory coverage in 81 jurisdictions worldwide, with compliant operations covering 46 states in the United States, and has obtained the European MiCA license, which covers 29 European markets, while also obtaining relevant licenses in Dubai, Japan, and Australia. Blockchain is gradually evolving from a single cryptocurrency carrier to an infrastructure that supports diverse assets.Dr. Han believes that with the ongoing integration of AI and Web3, Gate is continuously optimizing user experience and extending the platform into broader everyday use scenarios.

Hainan Local Financial Supervision Bureau: Beware of the chaos of "pseudo exchanges" and reiterate the prohibition of RWA tokenization business within the territory

According to Hainan Daily, the Hainan Provincial Local Financial Supervision Administration has issued a risk warning regarding trading venues. Recently, the Hainan Provincial Local Financial Supervision Administration learned from relevant channels that certain entities are promoting under names such as "Hainan International Data Asset Exchange," "Hainan Data Exchange," and "Hainan Marine Exchange," claiming to legally conduct businesses related to RWA (Real World Assets) and RDA (Real Data Assets).Market entities are conducting business in violation of regulations under the guise of trading venues without approval, which is suspected of illegal financial activities and endangers public property safety. In response, the Hainan Provincial Local Financial Supervision Administration has the following risk warnings:Currently, there is no approved establishment of the "Hainan International Data Asset Exchange" within our province. The establishment of trading venues in our province must be approved by the provincial government (the list of approved trading venues can be found in the appendix). Without approval from the competent authorities, market operators are not allowed to use terms such as "exchange" or "trading center" in their registered names, nor can they engage in activities related to trading venues.The People's Bank of China, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and eight other departments jointly issued a notice on further preventing and addressing risks related to virtual currencies, clearly stating that the regulation of the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWA) follows the principle of "strictly prohibited domestically, strictly regulated overseas." It emphasizes that conducting tokenization activities of Real World Assets (RWA) within the country, as well as providing related intermediary and information technology services, is suspected of illegal activities such as unauthorized issuance of token vouchers, unauthorized public issuance of securities, illegal operation of securities and futures businesses, and illegal fundraising, which should be prohibited.We urge investors to establish a correct investment perspective.
